Aren't we forgetting one rather large group of future funeral home fodder
here? - i.e., the Death Eaters, who will undoudtedly be eating a little of
their own medicine by the Book Seven finale.  Voldy buys the farm for
certain (the books are morally pointless if he survives), but also destined
for the hangman's noose: Lucius Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle (fils et
pere), and Peter Pettigrew - although Dumbledore's comments at the end of
PoA ("the time may come when you will be very glad you saved Pettigrew's
life") suggests that Wormtail may yet turn tail away from Lord Voldemort,
and die defending Harry.  A few other likely candidates - whose faults are
those of mere weakness rather than total corruption - like Fudge and
Bagman - may also be headed for the chopping block.

Among the good guys: I predict none of the Marauders will survive - Hagrid
and Dumbledore will perish (although both will survive until Book Seven) -
Snape will also sacrifice himself. Harry, Ron, and Hermione all survive.
